Hotel has absolutely beautiful public areas - just stunning The room had a nice feature of two balconies which looked towards Sacre Cur and you could see the top of the Arc De Triomphe. The room itself was tired bit small worn carpets. Bathroom was huge however very tired looking (80s decor 1980s that is). Another hotel bathroom that does... More

Wanted to find a nice hotel for a special weekend in Paris , and I have to say I struck gold when I booked the Raphael. The staff were really friendly on arrival and the atmosphere of the hotel made us feel very welcome. I'm not sure of the correct term for the style and decor, so I'll simply say... More

As part of our canal cruise with French Country Waterways, we stayed at their recommended hotel, in Paris, near the Arc de Triomphe. While we could have stayed at other hotels, the Raphael had beautiful rooms, warm reception and old world charm. It was also well located for walking some of the sights of Paris.

I did some research and found the Hotel Raphael a beautiful example of the belle epoque style. We arrived very late from Vienna to a warm welcome form the young receptionist. The room... More

Room smelled horribly like cigarettes and it was very hot in the room the whole trip. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. The concierge was very helpful though.

From the front door you see the Arc de Triomphe a short distance away. Check in was quick and they offered me free Wifi access. The elevator... More

Or use a cab--there is a cab stand right there, too (and an ATM close by). With the subway, you are close to everything--the museums, shopping,... More

My wife and I stayed at the Raphael during an anniversary visit to Paris. We were upgraded to a very large and comfortable junior suite. Other reviews have mentioned how the hotel is well located. Our main impression, however, was of outstanding service. The staff and management could not have been more courteous and helpful. Room service, the desk, and... More

The Raphael, on Avenue Kleber, provided us with lovely belle-epoque room, huge in size with bedroom offset in an alcove and separate closet/dressing room. If you like the Right Bank, they have packages including breakfast, wifi etc which are a "deal" for the neighborhood.
